Looks great so far. Can't wait to see where it goes and what it turns into.

I can't tell if you have the chassis done yet or not. It looks like it's sitting a little low tho. There are different parts in that kit form the older versions. The latest one, that release, has lift spacers that would have it sit a little higher than in the pics. Snorkel looks awsome!

I am working with the chassis. I just put the body on top pf the tires to have a idea of how it going to look..........

thanks......

Hey there, Im loving this, I had an idea very similar that i wanted to do. By the way it looks great with what you have done, just 1 question though, where did you get this kit?

[crazyrichard]

ooh very cool build , love the detail you are putting in
for my taste it could be raised a bit / sit higher
